“When you have international players who cannot regularly contribute and play, it's difficult for them to deal with of course.

“He has been absolutely exceptional because [being effective from the bench] is a skill in itself. You have to analyse what's going on during the game and take advantage of your positioning. Positional play becomes very important.

“Also, to transform your frustration into motivation is a skill. You always have two options. You either feel sorry for yourself or you show the manager that it's not right that you don't start the game.”
